Prepositions - a word that shows the relationship to a noun or pronoun or another word Will start with a preposition and end with a noun or pronoun (the object of the phrase) It is what the phrase is about. Ex: (under the bed), (beside her), (next to him) The object of the PP can be compound (more than one) EX: around the barn and fence The best way to remember what a prep is- it is anything a squirrel can do ex: around a tree, behind a tree, over a tree, If a preposition is the last word in the sentence it is no longer a prep it will be an adverb Ex: Is the game over? Over is an adverb telling when. If you have two preps in a row the first one will be an adverb, to be a prep it has to have an object. Ex: We walked around behind the barn. Around tells where/adverb. Commonly Used Prepositions Aboard before for off toward About behind from on under Above below in out underneath Across beneath in front of out of Unlike after beside into inside Over until against up to between Instead past up along beyond Since among by like through Upon around down near throughout With as during next to till Within at except of to without
